Caste: Zenith

Experience: 0 of 133xp unspent

Anima: A bright gold snowstorm centered on herself that enhances her attacks with contrails of ice, and dissolves the dead into snowflakes.
Anima Powers: 1m: Can burn bodies with a touch, sending their smoke and soul to heaven, preventing them from rising as a hungry ghost.
10m: Glows with the holy fire of the unconquered sun, lighting the area around her as if it were noon. Extends for Essx10 yards. For the rest of the scene or until she ends it she gains additional lethal and bashing soak equal to her essence against creatures of darkness, and doubles her minimum damage against them. This happens automatically once her anima banner is lit up to the 11+ mote level.

Background

Born and raised in an icewalker tribe, Aiko had always been small for her age, cute, and something of a crybaby. These factors combined to make her a frequent target for bullies among her peers. One day while out picking some of her favorite berries she was caught alone by some bullies, who proceeded to pick on her. Running away from them she wandered outside of the safe boundaries of her tribe and was soon set upon by a fair folk hunting party.

Chased by a particularly ferocious ice weasel, she was played with like a cat plays with a mouse. Constantly cornered, bit, and thrown about, she continued to try and get away, until finally cornered in a ravine by the weasel. Crying, scared, and with her back against the walls, she was reminded of all the times she'd been in a similar situation with bullies having chased her down.

That's when she remembered the advice her father had given her. He told her that bullies picked on her because she made herself a target, letting them push her around. If she just stood up for herself and pushed back, they'd leave her alone.

As the weasel closed in for the kill, she reached up and grabbed it by the cheeks, pulling its face down to hers and glaring at it eye to eye. "I'VE HAD JUST ABOUT ENOUGH OF THAT!" she shouted, catching the weasel off guard. "You're not going to hurt me anymore, do you understand?"

It looked at her, startled by the sudden change before she repeated, "DO YOU UNDERSTAND?" which got a hasty nod out of the weasel. "Good!" she shouted, pulling herself onto its back, "Now, take me home."

As the weasel started to head back, Aiko began glowing like the sun at noon, and she heard a voice in her head say "D'awwwwwww." And that's how Aiko became a solar exalt.
